We booked this hotel for a renowned actor who came directly from TIFF. Unfortunately he couldnt sleep in the afternoon due to persistent drilling from the construction site. We booked luxury suite and there is nothing luxurious about the space and the noise was unbearable. We need a full refund

Not Worth The Money

Very expensive hotel and a very rundown room. Air conditioner was leaking on the carpet, carpet was soaked, room needed painting, shower tap was wore out, and the vinyl on the headboard was all peeled. There are much nicer hotels in Calgary for half this inflated price!

Great hotel. Gilbert was delightful checking us in and refunded an early arrival charge (his idea!) because we weren't all that early. The hotel is nicely appointed, the room quite comfortable. Located in downtown Calgary, the Arts is literally steps from a variety of dining choices from sports bar like spots to middle and high end restaurants with a variety of offerings. Calgary is a hopping place. Our only disappointment with the Arts was in the bellhop who accepted a generous tip for taking the bags up, then accepted another generous tip from me a a couple minutes later. He should have declined my tip, explaining that my wife had already tipped him.
